Posted Apr 26, 2018If they only speak Terran, how will an Earth Elemental understand my half-orc's verbal commands when I summon one with Conjure Elemental?

Posted Jul 1, 2018This has come up in games before. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the elemental will understand your command no matter what language you are speaking. However, just because it can understand you, does not mean it can speak back to you in a language other than Terran.
Example: If you wanted the earth elemental to burrow somewhere for reconnaissance, and then have it report back to you, it would be unable to do so because it can only speak Terran and you cannot understand it.

Posted Jul 28, 2018You could only learn to speak Terran if your DM allows it. Alternatively, you could communicate with your earth elemental through magical means such as comprehend languages.

Posted Sep 17, 2018Comprehend Languages helps you understand but not communicate. I believe Tongues does.

Posted Dec 13, 20181. The spell literally says you can just tell it what to do and it'll do it and 2. Terran is a dialect of primordial, which is a very exotic language spoken by elementals and genasi.

Posted Apr 26, 2019Terran is a dialect of primordial, which is an exotic language you can pick at creation or learn if your DM allows. (Did a little research in the MM, cuz I had the same question)

Posted Jul 22, 2019Storm Sorcerers (for example) automatically know primordial, and are explicitly also able to communicate in Terran, Ignan, Aquan, and, Auran as they are simply dialects of Primordial.

Posted Mar 12, 2020Is the burrowing speed and the earth glide feature the same thing? Like, does it have a burrowing speed because of the earth glide feature, or does it have the burrowing speed and the earth glide ability?

Posted Mar 31, 2020Burrowing speed and earth glide are separate abilities. Burrowing would mean it’s moving through the ground but disturbing the land around it, whilst earth glide is an ability it’d probably have to choose to use but which doesn’t affect it’s surroundings.
